--Previous Message-- : Hopefully you found out by now but wisper : floss is wonderfull for this and you take a : tooth brush and fluff it for the beard. : Look here, that is where I ordered it from. : : : http://therockinghorse.com/flossfiber/rainbowgallerywisper.htm: : --Previous Message-- : Hello! : I'm doing counted cross stitch Santa : ornaments and would like to make the Santas' : beards fuzzy. What kind of yarn or floss : might I use to accomplish this look? (I've : tried yarn but find it balls up and shreds : when going through the canvas holes.) Thank : you!! : : : To Mary- Thank you for the information. I ended up using individual strands of yarn and with some (lots) of practice, got it to work well enough to make me mostly happy with the results. I'll take a look at the website you mentioned. It wouldn't hurt to have some 'fuzzy' type thread for future projects. Again, thank you!
